=== Tropes ===
* [[A Taste of the Lash]]: As [[Disproportionate Retribution]] for discovering an affair between an SS and a young Polish girl.
* [[Badass Boast]]: A powerful and well-deserved one at that.
{{quote|"We were masters of nature, masters of the world. We had forgotten everything—death, fatigue, our natural needs. Stronger than cold or hunger, stronger than the shots and the desire to die, condemned and wandering, mere numbers, we were the only men on earth."}}
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
* [[No One Gets Left Behind]]: Subverted. During the march from Birkenau to Auschwitz anyone who moves too slowly is shot. Rabbi Eliahou can no longer manage to run, and loses his son in the crowd, but is determined to find him. Eliezer declines to tell him that said son abandoned him after seeing him limping, and prays to God for the spiritual strength never to abandon his own father. {{spoiler|He doesn't get it, and is ultimately too cowardly to help the dying Shlomo.}}
* [[Rage Against the Heavens]]: Eliezer comes to hate God for allowing the Holocaust.
* [[A Taste of the Lash]]: As [[Disproportionate Retribution]] for discovering an affair between an SS and a young Polish girl.
* [[World War II]]
